PLAY SMARTER HESPERIS showed improved form upped in trip for her handicap debut at Yarmouth for all she needed the stewards’ help to claim her first win, and she should have more to offer after just 4 career starts. Scarborough Castle and Reeceltic both caught the eye last time so also need considering.
